Shrinking Episode 10 Review
Throughout the trajectory of the series, the show has excelled in terms of matching drama with comedy. Moreover, it also has tackled some strong issues and trauma, with the right amount of nuance in it. The makers delicately prevented the show from running aground and concentrated on the light-hearted parts.
Harrison Ford, in the role of Paul, has turned out to be the surprise factor of the series. The veteran actor has simply nailed each and every frame and has been spot-on with the comic timing. Notably, Segel remained the anchor of the entire season, and not only shined in his zone but also transferred the beacon at necessary times.
Even though the series has ended on a happy note, the climatic scene leaves out hope for a definite renewal. Moreover, as Jimmy moves on from his past, the dwindling therapist might have to face the repercussion of his professional mistakes, along with his newly found relationship with Gaby.
